Default Super Chargeing

Ok I have done a search & read mostly any about the Spintex super charger but all the post are very old now.I am thinking of super charging my 01 auto 171,000 K TJ.Dead stock.Just want a little more power .Nothing to serious.Just for towing heavy loads.
Can any body give me any current info especially about the tuning they use to have so much trouble with it.Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Mac

Default weight

When I say heavy I mean relative to what it allowed to tow legally which is not much.

I stroked to 4.7. Fun but doesn’t really add anything much over the 4.0. Supercharging expensive and an insurance nightmare. At 171,000 I would suggest maybe an engine rebuild prior. By doing an engine rebuild you could go a mild stroker maybe, possibly a port and polish ect... and then not even bother with a supercharger. I’m fact, just a rebuild back to factory spec would be great. My next major engine Project will be to throw the combustion engine away and put in an EV conversion. Got all the plans just need to acquire all the parts bit by bit as the costs add up.

By the way, to answer your question regarding tuning, the sprintex I’ve looked at in the past came with a Diablo tuner specifically for TJ.

Was about to say the same thing, Speak to Damo, or even Sprintex in Perth as that's where he done it.
